Re: Request for new project oca/queue

There are many nice enhancements that could be added to the queue project, including adding dependencies between tasks and things like:

* Do all tasks like Y in parallel, then, after they are done, do all tasks like X in parallel.

These kinds of improvements can be made completely backward compatible with the current queue architecture, but would allow much faster speed and better hardware use for heavy operations (think Pull/Push replenishment rules, which are currently done in background, but on a single hardly monitored thread that is launched manually).

Hi,
This is an important step in the evolution of the connector framework.
The job queue has proved to be versatile and has been used in many
more uses that mere connectors. Therefore, I took a step forward and
during the code sprint last week, I started to split the connector
addon in two:
* queue_job: extraction of the job queue (with a great rework BTW)
* connector: the remaining stuff for developing connectors (backends,
ConnectorUnit classes, ...)
This is targeted for Odoo 10.
To gain broader interest, I want to "unbrand" the job queue from the
"connector" naming.
I propose a new OCA project which would be "oca/queue". The PSC would
be, at least at the beginning, the same than the OCA/connector one for
simplicity.
Does it sound good to you?
